I just wanted to share the following website, which is an online newspaper in Esperanto.
http://www.eventeo.net/web/
The articles are concise and, therefore, ideal for those of you who want something fresh and short to read every day in Esperanto.
I believe the paper is also open to voluntary journalists.
Good stuff to put on your RSS feed.

Uvi:Hello people,You simply cannot find a better source of concise information about what's going on in the world than Eventeo. They are bar-none the best. I learn more from Eventeo than I do from any of the Internet news sources (Fox, CNN, etc.) about things like laws passed in other countries, when other countries have elections, ALL KINDS of things...and what's even better is that there is a place for Esperantists to leave comments and kick things around. I highly recommend it.

Reading the British press, I am usually aware of developing international news stories weeks and sometimes even months before they are ever reported in the US press - particularly with regard to Africa, whose coverage in the US press is usually sparse to say the least.

erinja:This is a tad off-topic, Polaris, but for good English-language international news, I wouldn't go to an American news sources, which usually have only limited coverage of international news. I like the BBC news online for good coverage of worldwide news.Hi, Erin--Thank you so much for that information. I will check out BBC news online. I often like to get information on various Spanish-speaking countries to share with my classes, and it's often a source of frustration that I just can't find out what's happening from the common US sources (which is one reason why I really like Eventeo).

When I was doing Speech & Debate in high school, one of my teammate doing Foreign Extemporaneous highly recommended BBC to me. Not just because of there coverage, but also for the difference in Time Zone.

I could usually get a piece of latest news about 2 hours earlier than it would be reported by East Coast news agency.

) can have some good articles too on occasion but it's very Asia pacific and europe centric - not mich about theUS spare any popular corporations. It's also very much the "state" news channel, so in some aspects it's like xinhua in that it doesn't delve into the niche like it's big spiritual daddy the BBC Uvi (Arată profil) 22 septembrie 2010, 11:48:26

I find it useful to have it on my "Like" list on Facebook, as it posts all the main headlines on my Wall on a regular basis, so I don't miss the good stuff.
(One of the few things FB is good at, I guess.)
